I am only a Linux person myself, but I was wondering how the prices of a Linux box vs. a Windows box compare - is one a better price than the other? __________________ Startup Fiance

Most times Linux is a little cheaper because there is no license cost. But remember, you get what you pay for

Dear Mr. Skinny, I see you are a windows man. With all due respect sir, Windows sucks and real Geeks are Open Source. I bet Bill Gates is a closet Linux lover

I never really looked into Linux. I guess you can say I was brought up with Windows and was never really told about Linux. What makes Linux better than Windows?

Okay, do you know when you update windows and/or install an application 9 times out of 10 you have to restart? Well with linux you don't have to do that unless it is a kernal upgrade. Also linux uses less resources and many more tools you can use.

in prices, just as your topic says, linux is way better, that's because you don't have to pay for its licenses and if you want an un}pdate, it's free, for widnows just wont, so, in a long term, what wolud you think could be cheaper? __________________ greetings!!are you interested in dedicated servers, cloud hosting and related info page reviews

Just so everyone is on the same page. Bill Gates fired a bunch of his C++ programmers and then brought in Linux programmers so that they could finish Vista. Linux Rules. To get back on topic.. --> It is far cheaper to build a Linux CentOS 5.5 enterprise Linux box with 16 GBs of ram and dual quad core AMD Opterons than it is to build an Intel Xeon box with Windows Server 2010 and 16 GBs of ram. reason 1. Linux has a smaller footprint in the box reason 2. The parts cost less. reason 3. There is not a licensing fee from Microsoft. __________________ - Chris 64bithost.com -------------- Professional Plesk Web Hosting, No Overselling www.64bithost.com

Really, Linux is more using and have better security level. Windows are less using and isnt more practice, like admin and administrators. For security i think Linux better too. www.balticservers.com tomas@balticservers.com __________________ Need a powerful, affordable server?
